#56 - Check

So its been a while since I've had any updates about my 101 list. And considering its less than a year until my time is up, I better get going on doing things and updating about them. For example, this 101 is from last summer..."Grow flowers from seeds".

See the thing is I don't have a green thumb, quite the opposite actually. I love flowers and have always wanted a beautiful flower garden, but I just don't know I'm doing. But last spring, I bought seeds, trays and soil pellets. It was definitely a experiment and I learned a bunch of things. But I did end up with flowers, so I guess it wasn't a completely failure.

Adorable Times Two | Doylestown Family Photographer

The last time I photographed this family, it was just big sister A. Now the family includes little brother P. While big sis is shy and a little more reserved (you have to work for smiles), her little brother is so generous with his smiles. Both were a joy to photograph!

LOVE this one. You can just feel the mommy love!

Fall Engagement | Doylestown Engagement Photography

This was my second session with this beautiful couple. Their first session was cut short due to rain, so we decided to wait for a perfect fall day. The location was wonderful, the light was wonderful...the session was wonderful. Here are some of my favorites.

Another Beautiful Baby Girl | Doylestown Newborn Photography

Another beautiful baby girl...Baby Eillison. And this baby was a sleepy one. She slept the entire time I was there. I'm not sure I actually saw her eyes open for more then 2 seconds. She was so sweet.

I didn't want to leave out a favorite of big brother C. He was such a SWEET little boy. It was a complete pleasure to meet and photograph him!!

Welcome this beautiful little baby girl...
She was tried to stay awake and enjoy the party, but she eventually fell asleep. And she was a perfect model! Look at those lips!!! I love it!

Happy New Year, Happy New Babies | Doylestown Newborn Photographer

Wow, really? Almost 2 months without a blog post. Seriously, that has got to be a record. I'm slowly climbing out of the piles of wrapping paper, decorations and cookies and getting back into actually updating my blog again. Lots has happened in the past month and lots of exciting things coming in the New Year, so expect some fun blog posts and updates soon.

To ring in 2010 (and in honor of passing the half-way point of my pregancy), I am having a model search. I am looking for two newborns who are due before the end of February.

Models will recieve a complimentary newborn portrait session, an 8x10 and 5x7 of their choice ($185 value). In addition, birth announcements will be discounted 15%. The session MUST occur before the baby is two weeks old and dm photography will have creative control over the session. Session must occur within 20 miles of Doylestown. Please email me at danielle@dmphotos.net, if you are interested.

She's so excited... | Doylestown Child Photographer

Someone is pretty excited that she is becoming a big sister. Yup, that's right, Grace is going to be a big sister. We will have a new addition to our family in May. So, to all my clients, who have been waiting patiently for web galleries, orders and lots of other stuff, this baby is why things have been taking longer than normal. Morning sickness and exhaustion have really made my life difficult. I'm slowly starting to feel better, so I hope to be a little faster getting everything completed.

A few other photos of my favorite big-sister-to-be...

Growing | Bucks County Family Photographer

These two boys have grown so much since I last photographed them. And such cute little boys they've become! I really love what I do and love that I get to see children grow up.

Here's Drew...
And Brett, who was just a newborn the last time I saw him!


LOVE this photo of Shana with her two boys!!

Almost Four | Bucks County Family Photographer

This family of three will soon be a family of four. I photographed Milan and her parents last year, when Milan was turning one. She'll soon be two and a big sister. And I have no doubt she will be a great big sister, since she is such a sweet, kind little girl. Even at this "difficult" age to photograph, she did a great job.

I mean seriously, how cute is she...

Sweet Sisters | Doylestown Family Photographer

It really is so hard to think of titles for my blog posts, so please excuse the cheesy title. But its true, these two little girls were so sweet. They were such good sisters. So loving and nice to each other.

Alison & Dan really wanted updated family photos, since its been a while. Here's one of my favorites...

3 Years Already | Doylestown Child Photographer

I know this blog has been neglected for some time now. Life has been busy and most of my time has been focused on my family. I'm slowly trying to find time again for blogging and other photography related activities. Grace, my precious Gracie, turned 3 last week. She so enjoyed her birthday and loved all of the birthday festivities. We didn't have a chance to go out for her 3-year old birthday photos before her birthday and well, the weather has been the greatest either. So when the sun and weather was beautiful this evening, I jumped at the chance to have a mini (I think it lasted for about 8 minutes) photo shoot. Here are a few of my favorites of my little girl. Happy Birthday Gracie! I love you more than you will ever know.

Nicki + Adam | Doylestown Wedding Photographer

Nicki and Adam were married this past Sunday. Between clouds and rain all morning, it cleared with perfect timing for thier ceremony. And the sun even made an appearance in the evening.

7 Pounds of Cuteness | Doylestown Newborn Photographer

Welcome Baby Luke. He's such a little peanut...reminds me a lot of Gracie when she a newborn. He was the perfect little model for me. You know, the kind of model that sleeps, doesn't pee on Mom and Dad and doesn't cry the entire time I'm there. Congratulations Kelly and Mike, your little boy is beautiful!

Sweet | Doylestown Family Photographer

Sweet...yes, that's the one word that comes to mind when I think of this family. These three kids were so sweet and polite. Having grown up spending a lot of time with their grandparents and Aunt (their Aunt J and I were close friends in high school), its NO surprise at all how sweet these kids were. I had such a great time and have so many great photographs!

And for fun...

Shy | Doylestown Child Photographer

Having photographed so many children, I see the whole gamut of personalities...outgoing & energetic to quiet & shy. This little girl feel more into the shy group. She really made me work for smiles! But those smiles are always very rewarding!
